TAHS Website Updates for Dec. 2006
TAHS Website Updates for Dec. 2006
Dec 21, 2006
Wow! It sounds so cliche, but WHERE did the year go?
Once again, so many wonderful people have contributed to
this site and made it such a glorious repository for area
history. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!
Holidays are a great time to dig out those "mystery photos"
when the family is all together. Be sure to have your
archive-safe pens available for everyone to help identify
those old photos.
It's also a good time to gather medical history. Have a
pre-printed form for each family member to fill out and
leave with the family "historian." Use them to compile a
medical history on your family. When making a report, you
don't have to mention names, but rather preface it with "on
the paternal (or maternal) line, (name of
illness/condition) is prevelant - or something to that
effect. We recently discovered a condition that runs in the
paternal males in our family which can be life-threatening
if not treated, but it is not often diagnosed unless the
doctors know to look for it. If found in time, it can be
treated successfully.
Have a wonderful, safe holiday season with your family and
friends. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas (not
intended as a "political statement" - merely a heartfelt
wish from me to you!)
